Tip for saving money on textbooks

I just bought my books for Spring. I hate buying them online and then not having access to them for a week or more. Instead what I do is buy them at the book store at school. Then I go online and look for them cheaper. I buy them at the cheaper price...so now I have 2 copies - one from the bookstore and one on the way in the mail. I then return the bookstore ones when the ones come in the mail, making sure to do so before my bookstore's return deadline. This works well for me since I can't get my book list that far in advance like some schools. I bought all used in the bookstore, but I still saved $113.24 buying them online instead. That's quite a chunk of cash. Good luck to everyone in the Spring semester!
